The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Here, repeated descriptions and detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted. Embodiments of the present invention are provided to completely explain the present invention to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the shapes and sizes of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clearer description.

Throughout the specification, when a certain component is said to "include", it means that it may further include other components without excluding other components unless otherwise stated.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment is presented to aid understanding of the present invention. However, the following examples are only provided to more easily understand the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited by the examples.

The table sterilization unit according to the present invention may include a surface sterilizer 10 and a cutlery box sterilizer 20.

The surface sterilizer 10 according to the present invention is attached to or installed on one side of the table top plate and can sterilize the table surface by irradiating ultraviolet rays to the surface of the table top plate. 1 is a perspective view of a surface sterilizer 10. Referring to FIG. 1, the surface sterilizer 10 may include a surface sterilizer light emitting unit 11, a display 12, and a speaker 13.

The surface sterilizer 10 may be custom-made to fit a table shape in a straight or curved shape using a flexible plastic material. Preferably, it can be manufactured in various forms using polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB). The surface sterilizer 10 can be driven by a battery, and when the battery is discharged, several surface sterilizers 10 can be charged simultaneously through the surface sterilizer charger 15, which can be confirmed through FIG. 2 .

The light emitting unit 11 of the surface sterilizer may emit ultraviolet light capable of sterilizing bacteria and viruses. Ultraviolet light may be emitted through a sealed beam lamp, a spotlight lens, a Fresnel lens, or the like and irradiated to the table in a straight line. By using the above UV light emitting lamp and lens, it is possible to sterilize only a desired range by adjusting the direction, range, distance and angle of the emitted ultraviolet light by changing the angle, structure and amount of ultraviolet light output of the lamp and lens. Preferably, ultraviolet rays may be emitted using a shielded beam lamp in which a lens and an electrode are integrated. Since the positions of the filament, reflector, and lens are fixed in the shield beam lamp, water or dust does not enter, so the reflector does not blur and the light can have a property of going straight, and the surface sterilizer light emitting part 11 ) UV light can be emitted using a shielded beam lamp. The par light shield beam lamp is a lamp that emits light using a reflector made of parabolic aluminum, and can emit blue light by installing a blue color filter in front of the lamp. As the blue light is emitted, ultraviolet rays irradiated to the table surface can be directly observed with the naked eye, so that a sterilization effect can be observed. In addition, since it is an integrated lamp, the angle of emitted ultraviolet rays can be fixed, and thus ultraviolet rays can be irradiated only to the surface of the table. Here, ultraviolet light may have a wavelength of 250 to 280 nm. When the UV wavelength is less than 250 nm, the wavelength is short and harmful to the human body, and when the UV wavelength exceeds 280 nm, a problem of reducing the sterilization effect may occur. Preferably, when irradiating the table with ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 254.7 nm at a power consumption of 30 to 45 W, the table surface of 1.5 m in length can be sterilized, and bacteria and viruses can be sterilized by more than 99.9% within 30 seconds. , It does not generate ozone and is harmless to the human body.

The display 12 may display the current state of the surface sterilizer 10. Referring to FIG. 4 , the display 12 may include a power button 12a, a time display unit 12b, a time setting unit 12c, and a sterilization display unit 12d.

The power button 12a can turn on/off the operation of the surface sterilizer 10.

The time display unit 12b may display the remaining sterilization time of the surface sterilizer 12b.

The time setting unit 12c may add a sterilization time by pressing a button.

The sterilization display unit 12d may display the sterilization effect of bacteria and viruses over time.

The speaker 13 may notify the user of the completion of sterilization by sounding an alarm when sterilization is finished.

The surface sterilizer 10 can be used by directly attaching it to the table top plate, or by installing a case 14 in which the surface sterilizer 10 can be stored. 4(a) and (b), when the surface sterilizer 10 operates, the surface sterilizer light emitting part 11 protrudes from the top of the case 14 and irradiates ultraviolet rays toward the table top surface. Referring to FIG. 4(c) , when the operation is finished, the surface sterilizer light emitting unit 11 may be buried inside the case 14 and stored.

The operation of the surface sterilizer 10 may be terminated by any one of the power button 12a of the display 12, time setting, and sensor detection. Specifically, the operation termination using the power button 12a can be terminated by operating the power button of the ON/OFF type to OFF. In order to terminate the operation by time setting, the sterilization time may be previously set in the time setting unit 12c of the display 12, and the operation may be automatically terminated when the set time elapses. Operation termination using sensor detection can be set to immediately end sterilization by detecting when a person sits on the table or a body or object comes into contact with the table while the surface sterilizer 10 is operating.

The cutlery box sterilizer 20 according to the present invention can sterilize the inside of the cutlery box by irradiating ultraviolet rays into the inside of the cutlery box 30 installed on the other side of the table top plate. 5 is a perspective view of the cutlery box 30 in which the cutlery box sterilizer 20 is installed. Referring to FIG. can include

The cover part 21 may be installed to cover the cutlery container 30 having an open upper surface. In the case of a drawer-type cutlery container embedded in a table, the cover part 21 may be coupled to the table top plate. On the other hand, in the case of a general cutlery box not embedded in the table, the cutlery box lid can be replaced with the cover part 21 and used instead of the cutlery box lid. The cover part 21 is made of any one of transparent glass or plastic, and the inside of the cutlery container 30 can be observed.

In the cutlery box sterilizer light emitting part 22, one or more light emitting lamps may be installed on one side of the cover part 21, and ultraviolet rays capable of sterilizing bacteria and viruses may be emitted. The cutlery box sterilizer light emitting unit 22 may emit ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 250 to 280 nm. When the UV wavelength is less than 250 nm, the wavelength is short and harmful to the human body, and when the UV wavelength exceeds 280 nm, a problem of reducing the sterilization effect may occur. In addition, the light emitting unit 20 of the cutlery box sterilizer may further generate ozone, and the bacteria and virus sterilization effect may be further increased due to the ozone generation.

The steam spraying unit 23 may be installed on the other side of the cover unit 21 and may spray steam capable of sterilizing bacteria and viruses. The steam injection unit 23 sprays steam at 100 ° C into the cutlery container 30 to completely remove remaining bacteria and viruses, and is particularly effective in removing staphylococci and salmonella bacteria that cause food poisoning.

Operation of the cutlery container sterilizer 20 may be terminated by any one of a power button and sensor detection. Specifically, the operation termination using the power button may terminate the power by operating the power button of the ON/OFF type to OFF. Operation termination using sensor detection may be set to immediately end sterilization by detecting a movement when the cutlery box 30 is opened for use while the cutlery box sterilizer 20 is operating.

Referring to FIG. 6 , the sterilization table 100 according to the present invention may include a surface sterilizer 10 and a cutlery box sterilizer 20 . The sterilization table 100 has an integrated structure and includes the surface sterilizer 10 and the cutlery box sterilizer 20, which are components of the table sterilization unit, and has the advantage of not requiring a separate table sterilization unit.
